     The passage "The allegory of the cave" is mainly about a man named Socrates telling a story  to his friend Glaucon about people who live in a cave. The people who live in this cave are chained facing the back of the cave so they are unable to see the opening of the cave and have been that way since birth. All that the people of the cave know is shadows if anything different will be a lie to them .The question was asked what if one of them was let free and was able to leave the cave into the open ?

BLOG 1 "HYPE "

     This passage "Hype" is mainly about how commercials advertisiment has increase. This passage talks about how you can see your favorite product with a bill bored or commercials. this passage also explains how before you will see ad's mainly on buses, bill bored and now you can look about anywhere see a ad .
    This passage states that you can watch and hear a massive amount of commercials and ad's. I agree with what the passage is saying  because companies  will promote their product as much as they can. With that being said companies will put ad's on anything now in order  to be seen . Seeing these ad's are now normal to a everyday person.
   This passage also explains that commercials and ads are dumped into North America collective unconscious. I agree with this because people in America watch alot of tv and listen to the radio. commercials and radio are two things that promte ad's the most . This makes it easier for people to watch or listen to these ad's.
    Commercails and ad's are seen so frequently that if it had a song or said something funny it will be in your head all day. Some people may disagree with  ad's being everywhere. Corporate America fills that anywhere you look a ad or logo should be there.
